the 2020 AMA National Enduro Championship on a Sherco. Arkansas-based Sherco U.S. took over distribution in the United States in 2025 and aims to get more blue bikes on America's tracks and trails. Fully Loaded French Flyer One of the first things you notice about the Sherco line is how well-equipped these bikes are right out of the crate. The 250 SEF Factory comes loaded with the kind of quality components that typically require a trip to the aftermarket on competing bikes: • KYB suspension, front and rear • Akrapovic exhaust • Brembo hydraulic clutch and brakes with Galfer rotors • AXP skid plate • Selle Dalla Valle gripper seat • Excel wheels with D.I.D O-ring chain • Billet triple clamps • Cooling fan and coolant catch tank • BS lithium battery • LED headlight and handguards • Two-position map switch • 2.6-gallon fuel tank (an optional 3.5-gallon tank is also available) P116 RIDE REVIEW I 2026 SHERCO 250 SEF FACTORY There is very little you will need to add before heading to the trails or the starting line. As with any motorcycle, you will likely want to dial in the suspen- sion to your weight and riding style, tweak personal preferences such as handlebars and grips, and, beyond that, this bike is ready to ride right out of the crate, which is how we received our test bike. Trail Performance When we opened the box and saw it, we got excited. Shercos look great right from the factory, and after we assembled our 250 SEF Factory, we hit the trail and quickly found that this little 250 performs as well as it looks. The Sherco 250 SEF Factory is ideal for racing, especially in 250 classes, and it is also an excellent trail bike, especially for those who like to ride aggressively.
